Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!

The crucial value of exploratory research Β» Eiko Fried Exploratory research is vital for discovery, but often undervalued. Here I argue it is key to scientific progress & needs defending.

New interview on the value of exploratory research.

"My brief explanation of this crisis is that researchers didn't say β€˜I found something interesting’, but β€˜I found exactly what my fantastic theory had predicted, heureka’.
And then they gave a TED talk."

Creating Accessible Research for the #DevLangDis Community

A lot of research goes to waste πŸ—‘οΈ This is partly because researchers rarely share results with the non-scientific community. Even when findings are shared, people with communication disorders find it hard to understand the research.
